Morbidelli: Quartararo is trying to "scare" rivals

Franco Morbidelli believes his Petronas Yamaha teammate Fabio Quartararo is only saying he still has a lot to learn in MotoGP to make his rivals “a little afraid”.

Quartararo fended off reigning world champion Marc Marquez for most of the 27-lap San Marino Grand Prix last weekend, with the Honda rider eventually getting through on the final tour to deny him a maiden victory.

The French rookie said his battle with Marquez was “the best moment of my life”, and suggested he was able to learn a lot from it.
